Git is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Here's why Torvalds never intended for it to stick around.

      I mean, let’s be thorough. He’s

      • the rich scion
      • of a family that made their fortune owning and exploiting emerald mines
      • in South Africa
      • during apartheid

      Kinda tells you all you need to know about him and his family.

      Also his dad fucked and married (edit: correction (side note: fuck me, somehow it was WAY weirder than I had remembered):) fathered not one, but TWO children with his own stepdaughter. No, I’m not kidding.

      Edit 2: nope, they married in the 90s too! You can’t make this shit up.

              Yep.

              Also, I want to point out that it was actually worse and weirded than I had remembered: i don’t think they’re married, but they’ve had two kids together, and one of them was intentional.

              Yep.

              Wow.

              Edit: hahahahahaha fucking hell they got married in the 90s too
